After Yan Ruocheng finished cooking the medicine, she quickly wanted to go back to her room to chat with Huang Chenling, but she was already taken away by Huang Fengmo. Her attempt was in vain.
Looking at the bed where he had been lying, she slowly walked closer to touch it, feeling a little sad that he had left so quickly.
In the palace, after Huang Fengmo sent Huang Chenling back in a carriage, he accompanied him to watch the memorial and handle some difficult official matters.
"How did you sneak out last night without telling Xiulin?" Huang Fengmo asked curiously.
"I detained her in the Lanxiu Palace. Last night I pretended to be soaking in the hot springs at the Yumu Palace. I asked Yan Rongyan to lead his people to guard the door and not allow anyone to enter." Huang Chenling explained.
"What if the emperor's uncle suddenly comes to look for you?" Huang Fengmo asked.
"No, I deliberately asked the grand master of the palace to sort out some documents of the late emperor. There were some things that he didn't understand, so I asked him to go to the emperor's uncle to solve them. I asked the serious and slow-moving grand master to drag him, and he didn't have time at all.
Come over here." Huang Chenling said.
"That's good, lest he come to you to ask questions again." Huang Fengmo nodded and said.
"If he wants to ask, I can only use Tai Chi to deal with him." Huang Chenling said boringly.
At this time, they said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Huang Guiyuan came to discuss some important matters with Huang Chenling.
"Uncle Emperor, what's the matter?" Huang Fengmo asked first.
"It's just right that you are here, Feng Mo. Let's discuss how to attack a tribe on the border with the Emerald Kingdom. I received a secret report today and found out that this tribe wants to revolt. Let's take a look at the map first to see what we should do."
Huang Guiyuan handed the map to the two brothers to look at.
The map shows the tribe's range and population estimate.
"Why did they want to revolt? Didn't the spy find out?" Huang Chenling asked.
"This tribe was created by the late emperor's kindness in taking in refugees from other countries. As time went by, the population of these refugees became larger and larger. They established some foreign trade relations with the neighboring country of Kunka, and some of their connections also involved him.
On the Card Country side. Since our country reached an agreement to cooperate with the Emerald Country, the Card Country has been unwilling to interact with our country. It has never dealt with the Emerald Country. Therefore, they may feel that their interests have been harmed and launched an uprising." Huang.
Guiyuan explained slowly.
Huang Fengmo looked at the distribution location of the tribe, frowned and said: "Its area is very scattered, and the population is quite large. If we attack it, it will easily hurt the innocent people in nearby small villages."
"If you want to do great things, don't worry about these details. Only by making sacrifices can you achieve great things. Feng Mo, it's because you think like this and are too benevolent as a woman that I will let Chen Ling succeed to the throne." Huang Gui Yuanxun said.
"Uncle Emperor, I also think that your brother is right. The crusade is against the people who rebelled, rather than harming innocent people. Since they want to maintain good relations with the Kingdom of Kara, we might as well take the initiative to say hello to the Kingdom of Kara.
, let's see what conditions they want before they are willing to cooperate as before." Huang Chenling stood beside Huang Fengmo, supporting him and suggesting.
However, Huang Guiyuan did not listen to his advice at all. He glared at them and directly concluded: "Crunting is necessary. If you don't show the domineering attitude that an emperor should have, you will let the tribes who are secretly dissatisfied with you
, fear and surrender to you, it will be more troublesome to control it in the future. In short, you must do what I say!"
Huang Chenling and Huang Fengmo secretly winked at each other, sarcastic in their hearts. They were just pretending to discuss, but in fact they were here to give orders.
"Okay, listen to your uncle." They nodded helplessly.
"Which general should you send there?" Huang Guiyuan saw that the two of them did not dare to object, so he continued.
"General Zhang and General Lin are both guarding the other side of the iceberg. It is difficult to come back for a while, and General Meng is still old and not suitable. The other generals must guard the border positions, and they are indispensable." Huang Chenling
Deliberately picking on difficult situations.
"Isn't there Yan Rongyan guarding your door? Last time he led troops to attack the Jade Kingdom, he also made great achievements." When Huang Guiyuan came in, he happened to meet Yan Rongyan's patrol.
"Rong Yan? No, he has little experience. I'm afraid he won't be able to take on the responsibility. Let's find someone else." Huang Chenling shook her head and said in disagreement.
"If he is still young, let him accumulate experience. The tribe is so fragmented and needs young and strong people to lead troops to conquer. In addition, I will select a few experienced lieutenants to assist him, so that there should be no
There's a problem." Huang Guiyuan said firmly.
"Uncle Emperor, when a benevolent person becomes emperor, he must first face difficulties and then gain, so that the people will not have so many grievances. This crusade will only deepen the irresolvable grievances." Huang Fengmo advised again.
"Benevolent people will only harm the country. For those who do not accept Chen Ling as emperor, no matter how many decades later they still want to take his life, these people who hinder Chen Ling must be eradicated. Sacrifice is necessary." Huang
Guiyuan completely ignored Huang Fengmo's words, walked closer to him, and stared at Huang Fengmo with a fierce look like "How dare you disobey me."
"Brother Imperial, stop talking. Since Uncle Imperial has already decided, let's do it." Huang Chenling quickly protected Huang Fengmo behind her and said in agreement.
"You guys should discuss it with me first and see which way we can go faster. Don't waste time. It's best to settle this matter before Chen Ling ascends the throne." After Huang Guiyuan finished speaking, he turned and left.
After Huang Guiyuan really left, Huang Fengmo was so angry that he swept the map on the table to the ground.
"Brother Imperial, don't be angry." Huang Chenling patted his shoulder lightly and said.
"Don't touch me! Why did you agree to the emperor's plan to conquer that tribe? Isn't the life of the common people life? If there is an attack, someone will lose their home." Huang Fengmo said angrily.
"If you don't agree to him, what else can you do? Now he is the biggest. Even if I don't agree, he will still send people to attack. His coming to discuss this time is equivalent to informing us that this thing happened." Huang Chenling was helpless.
said.
"Are we really not going to do something to stop him?" Huang Fengmo asked.
"Of course we have to stop him, but we have to stop him in a non-obvious and reasonable way so that he has nothing to say," Huang Chenling said.
"What countermeasures have you come up with? Tell me." Huang Fengmo's anger decreased a bit.
"He actually asked me to send Yan Rongyan there. With Yan Rongyan's personality, he would not mess around. He asked him to arrest those who rebelled first and lock them all up. He would not let the emperor know about it. Then he would slowly discuss with them why they rebelled.
, whatever they want, as long as the conditions are consistent, they can compromise." Huang Chenling slowly stated the plan.
"It's easy for you to say. I didn't hear just now that he would send a few obstructive lieutenants to follow Yan Rongyan. Even though Yan Rongyan has a good nature, those lieutenants will naturally obey and complete the orders because they want to climb up. I'm afraid that when the time comes
Yan Rongyan will also be implicated." Huang Fengmo analyzed and said worriedly.
"This is indeed difficult to handle. Let's see which lieutenants the emperor calls first. We will slowly discuss how to deal with it." Huang Chenling slightly frowned and said.
"That's all." Huang Fengmo said with a sigh.
In the afternoon, Yan Ruocheng was feeding Xian Jianluo some porridge, and was a little absent-minded. She was thinking to herself, wondering when Huang Chenling would come to see her again.
"Hey, hey! Are you feeding me porridge, or are you deliberately trying to stain my clothes? The porridge water is about to drip down." Xianjian said hurriedly as he watched the spoon in her hand become more and more tilted.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Yan Ruocheng came to his senses and straightened the spoon.
"What are you thinking about? Are you remembering something when you are so absent-minded?" Xian Jiannan asked.
"I have something I want to ask you. I don't know if I have mentioned it to you before?" Yan Ruozhen put the spoon back into the bowl and said.
"What do you want to ask?" Xian Jianlan said.
"It's about the second prince. What was my relationship with him before? I asked him, but he didn't tell me. He just sighed again and again." Yan Ruocheng said slowly.
"Hehe, if you ask him, of course he will sigh repeatedly, but you actually forgot about him." Xian Jiannan said with a smile.
"Is he important to me?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"I can't answer you about this, because some time ago you were very angry and told him to eat feces. You also asked me not to mention him again in front of you." Xian Jianlu told her truthfully.
"Scared? I actually said that, so have I ever told you what made me scold him like this?" Yan Ruozhen asked doubtfully.
Xian Jianluo shook his head and said, "You didn't tell me. It's probably because he did something wrong again that made you so angry."
"Then what's the relationship between me and him?" Yan Ruocheng asked the key point.
Xian Jianlan felt that it was not good for him to speak out. At that time, Yan Ruocheng did not fully accept Huang Chenling. Besides, Huang Chenling had hurt her before and married another person. Now that she has lost her memory, she has forgotten her unhappiness.
She can also make a good choice one more time on her own whether she should be with Huang Chenling or not.
"I can only say that the relationship is unclear. He likes you just like the eldest prince. However, he is not unmarried like the eldest prince. Instead, he has married the princess Wang Xiulin, who is also his current emperor.
Concubine." Xian Jianlu told her the basic things.
After hearing this, Yan Ruocheng hesitated for a moment and felt a little disappointed. Huang Chenling had already married.
"Ruocheng, don't pay too much attention to his affairs. He is a married man after all. Don't be fooled by his sweet words anymore. He doesn't deserve you to take him so seriously anymore." Xian Jiannuo said calmly.
"I understand, Jian Que, don't worry, I won't be fooled by this kind of person." Yan Ruocheng said seriously.
"Well, that's good. If you don't feed me any porridge, the porridge is almost cold." Xian Jianluo said.
"Yes, eat slowly." Yan Ruocheng continued to pick up the bowl and slowly fed him the porridge. As for Huang Chenling, when she heard that Xian Jianlan had such a bad opinion of him, she also took back her previous comments.
